A child’s knee length smooth, firm fitting, good wearing, absorbent sock with a low tendency to crease inside leg braces or other orthotic devices. This is achieved by: using thicker elastane with more power to fit firmly; using mercerised cotton for absorbency; blending the mercerised cotton with a fine nylon to improve wear and abrasion resistance; and making true linked toes so there are no ridges in the toe area. NOTE: To ensure a proper fit, a person qualified to fit orthotics should fit this sock initially.
